Can I run a WinHelp file from a network directory?

Yes. WinHelp has no problem running from a network, provided it’s in a directory with a read-only restriction. (A Read Only restriction on the file alone is not sufficient). The read- only restriction is to ensure that WinHelp 4.0 creates the .GID, .FTS, and .FTG files locally for each user. If these files are on the network drive, they can cause problems for users that use mapped drive letters to access this directory.
